That's just a visualization problem. No we don't need to get a 1mm accuracy voxel map from the whole of Ukraine to know what's going on there either.

Random samples / "this repeated X times" etc would work fine. Having nothing makes the whole thing seem pointless

I think most of our problems are due to digital marketing....

it's not good for stuff.....something's....but it's not a panacea.... Meta and Google and Tiktok all claim otherwise.....but the cultural effects show.

advertising in the modern age is not good .....

it's not sticky.....

it's vapid and forgotten faster than the fly you accidentally swallowed at some point in your life...
I didn't mean to be nasty - I was, apparently, misunderstanding OP's original message. In my defense, the causal link between these three things:

1. Person A in their blog appears to be using a weird portmanteau, "computard"
2. "Some famous people like Stallman do this" (referring to portmanteaus, and making up words, in general, and not the specific portmanteau person A used)
3. "People" maybe don't perceive that positively (making up portmanteaus..?)

is more than a bit hard to follow.

Anyway, I thought an obviously false claim was being made, but if it's just a few loose amalgamations and people brandishing their opinions about, well that's fine, it is the internet, after all.
It's hilarious how they still push the "better for the Environment" garbage when they industrially destroy old iphones.
Crime is historically low in many cities, including NYC. Visit and you'll see what I mean.
That's not exactly a new phenomenon though. "Decline by 9" is a comparatively new thing.
One thing I personally do with candidates nowadays is just...talk.

Ask them general stuff I'm genuinely interested for their opinion but that would very quickly display the proficiency of the person without ever coding any line.

Question such as, for a web development job:

1) favorite way to manage git history

2) what do they like/dislike about different CSS authoring solutions

3) how did he manage localization on his previous projects

4) candidate's opinions on different frameworks/libraries

5) candidate's debugging approaches

6) opinions on latest updates to the ecmascript

And I can go on and on. As you simply chat and exchange ideas it is so blatantly obvious who's able and who's not. There are no right/wrong answers and it's totally fine to not have experience or knowledge about this or that but in one hour you can touch so many topics about your current projects and candidate's past that you can indirectly understand the level of seniority and proficiency of the candidate.

And anyway, all of this is useless. Because the most brilliant and knowledgeable candidate could spend all his day playing videogames and pretending to work anyway, so why would I put so much emphasis on those skills/knowledge rather than the individual/professional I have on the other side of the screen which is way more relevant?

I need people I can *trust* as coworkers. People I can assign tasks and know they will be done or that the candidate will communicate.

I don't need puzzle solvers. I really don't. I couldn't care less.

At the end of the day you need to optimize the interview for what you need from your colleagues. I need trust, reliability, communication, professionalism, effort.

I can sense those from chatting and I can have a good idea. But by having you implement Levehnstein's distance I just have no intel.
Did the Gamecube have motion controls?
It was a journey! My wife got me a roaster for Christmas several years ago, and I had absolutely no idea how to use it. After tons of reading, YouTube, and trial-and-error I eventually got the hang of it. I still use the same roaster she bought me, but I upgraded to a double-walled chamber to make winter roasting more consistent and temperature probes [1] to record the roast process with Artisan [2]. Since collecting data is fun and makes it easier to get consistent results.

I don't roast beans for cold brew anymore since I drink way too much and it was becoming a chore, but I still roast ~8oz every two weeks for pour overs.

If you're interested there are a lot of great resources online. Sweet Maria's [3] has been a constant go-to for knowledge, equipment, and green coffee beans. And of course, YouTube.

So this is going into the ThinkPad P1 (Gen 7), which is too expensive and power hungry for my use cases. How long until it filters down into less expensive SKUs? Are we talking next years generation?

A couple dollars pre day is nothing to most people but multiply by thousands of riders every day and it is a lot of money. There is no transit system in the world that couldn't be better with more funding so take that money.

You of course need a plan for the poor but that should be a minority.
While I don't fully disagree, I think Nintendo is slowly heading in that direction. I hope I'm wrong, as they're my favorite console company, and I'd hate to see them stop innovating and instead just release a slightly-beefier Switch for the next 5 years
The speed of logistics is more important than the speed of combat troops. Tanks can go behind enemy lines, but only for a short while. If they don't return, they will quickly run out of fuel and become vulnerable.

I didn’t really appreciate the insanity of the electrical engineering involved in high frequency stuff till I tried to design some PCBs. A simplistic mental model of wires and interconnects rapidly falls apart as frequencies increase
I remember having lunch with a speech recognition researcher who was using GPUs to train DNNs to do speech recognition in 2011. It really was thought of as niche back then. But the writing was on the wall I guess in the results they were getting.
I disagree, I think it's a failure of recruiting if you got someone into an interview who can't code "at all". That must mean nobody at the company is technical "at all" either then, if you are getting people that far along without having any clue if they even write code at all.

I don't have this problem - I can easily tell who is good and who is not good by looking at their stuff online, which repos they are contributing to and what their contribution is. I look at personal projects - I can easily tell what parts they wrote vs didn't because it's usually specific to the project.

I can tell from their blog posts and comments, especially GitHub comments - I can even see if they're pushing features at 11PM on a Friday if the obsession piece is crucial to the hire.

People who say all their work is hidden under NDA or they're new grads and haven't done anything yet - sorry, if there's nothing to view online I just wouldn't qualify you to interview.

Though I have given out 50+ code tests in my career because I had to, I would never choose to do this, if given the chance when hiring someone I would never give them a code test. I think it's an amateur move and wastes everyone's time. At its best (as in the case of CTCI interviews) it's an exclusivity filter for academics who memorized the optimal data structures for algorithms as taught in school, but the candidate might not have any of the skills needed to build app features, perform DevOps, etc. or even operate a Terminal - CTCI doesn't cover anything async, nothing about UIs, APIs, databases, services, git, design, file formats, etc. it's purely academic sport. And like I said, a good developer's work should be highly visible anyway - skip the random code test.

I would spend the recruiting effort finding specific developers using specific technologies that aligns with the role and making them excited about the opportunity rather than canvasing 1000 code tests out to anyone who applies.
Wouldn't knock it till you try it! The drink kinda had it's moment a couple years ago - "Aerocanos" or "Steamed Iced Americanos" are the names I've heard for the drink. Often made with the kind of post-brew chilled cold brew that OP was railing about. Cold coffee, steamed to frothy, then either pour over ice to re-chill or serve warm.

Wouldn't try to randomly talk a barista into making one, but if you see them on the menu at a shop or have an espresso machine, they're pretty neat.

The past decade is the golden age for software developers, so we had lots of options. I was wondering if we will still have so much freedom as the market has increasingly become the buyer's one.

Of course. I’ve interviewed over 400 people in my career and I’ve never directly asked someone if they’ve done leetcode problems. I don’t care about actual leetcode. Looking at someone’s progress on leetcode as a replacement for an interview would be a terrible idea.

As an interviewer, I care about their skills - technical skills (like debugging ability and CS knowledge), social skills (can we talk about our work together?) and judgement. Your ability to understand data structures and algorithms is signal, but there is a lot more to a good candidate than knowing how to make a bit of code run fast. Knowing when to make code fast is, as you say, just as important.
Yeah and M2 was on N5P vs M1's N5, but it was still N5. M4 is still N3.
Side question: What tool are they using to get "resolution independent" zoom on the video?

I noticed the UI stayed crisp on zoom and had me wondering. (I don't do video work so maybe it's common in AE)
I'd see two angles:

- the manufacturer themselves benefit from easier to repair machines. If DELL can replace the RAM and send back the laptop in a matter of minutes instead of replacing the whole motherboard to then have it salvaged somewhere else, it's a clear win.

- prosumers will be willing to invest more in a laptop that has better chance to survive a few years. Right now we're all expecting to have parts fail within 2 to 3 years on the higher end, and budget accordingly. You need a serious reason to buy a 3000$/€ laptop that might be dead in 2 years. Knowing it could weather RAM failure without manufacturer repair is a plus.
There is no user buying a lowest-tier Macbook Air who would be able to tell the difference between the Lenovo SSD and the Macbook SSD.
Improving battery life, framerate, and rendering resolution (which is often below the panel's native 720p) is definitely welcome. Two-three hours is miserable compared to older Nintendo handhelds, and many titles routinely drop below 30 frames per second which is not very nice (and causes motion sickness for some people).
There is probably very little overlap between people who would base their purchasing decisions on the announcement-of-an-announcement and people who are buying Yet Another Switch in TYOOL 2024. They have already triple-dipped the former group with the original Switch model (like mine), the OLED model that looks like the original but with revised innards, and the mini model without detachable joycons.
After reading the parent comment - I thought to myself “so what”.

But after reading it on the product page - I fully agree: seeing clearly the targeted personas and out of scope usage significantly elevates my trust in the product and the team behind it.

A Better Way to Go
Yeah that's the challenge with front end opinions - there's still a lot of folks who want to write code that way (even when using frameworks), then bitch about "too much magic!", etc. I'm with you that I do not want to deal with all that, give me a mental model of state->UI and I'm good.
Picture books have been around from the very beginning. I'd say that the modern graphic novel is just the result of various gradual innovations, one of the important ones being that of embedding text - speech, thoughts, onomatopoeic description - inside the pictures rather than alongside them, which improves the flow of the story, and which helps prevent the reader from becoming focused on either the pictures or text to the exclusion of the other.

I'd posit that anyone whose imagination conjures up mental pictures from a purely written book would be incapable of not doing so with a graphic novel. One's brain could have less to do, true... yet it doesn't choose the easy path. In my personal experience, the scenes of a good story grow and become more detailed in my imagination, regardless of whether they are depicted in prose or picture.

One thing I love about written language is that can be used in so many ways; the vast majority of reading isn't 'purely' reading for me, but associated with other activities - encyclopaedias are reading interspersed with skimming, possibly in order to inform another task such as writing, graphic novels are the appreciation of visual art in a narrative form supported by text, and then there's the entirely practical way in which being able to read "wet paint" helps me from getting myself into a sticky situation.
> Sounds like committees....animes tend to have a visionary person who writes the core story and characters.....

Funny, I've heard the exact opposite complaint a lot, that every anime in the last 20 years is made by committee and that's why the vast majority of anime are just slavish adaptations of already-successful manga, and even the few original anime projects that happen tend to be retreads of genre cliches.

It was Donna.
Does this have any advantages over Tailscale?
Crime is historically low... as crimes like theft are decriminalized.

It's easy to say there's less crime when you make stuff not a crime.

For reference: all the stores closing because of all of the theft not being prosecuted or that's no longer enforced.

IE: California where theft of under $1000 is no longer enforced.
> the crime seemed to follow and exacerbate the problem

Did it? Not in NYC. Crime is very low; it's arguably one of the safest places to be in the country.

MLX will probably be even faster than that, if the model is already ported. Faster startup time too. That’s my main pet peeve though: there’s no technical reason why PyTorch couldn’t be just as good. It’s just underfunding and neglect
What’s the numerator and what’s the denominator?

Numerator is nuclear wars? Nuclear bombs dropped? People killed by nuclear bombs? Years with a nuclear bomb dropped?

Denominator is total wars? Number of bombs dropped? People killed in war? Years passed?

By some numerators and denominators, we’re well into 99.99999x territory.
It doesn’t matter to me if they “really care” about privacy or not. Megacorps don’t “really care” about anything except money.

What matters to me is that they continue to see privacy as something they can sell in order to make money.
Off-topic: It’s really sad to see all the low effort, ChatGPT written, informationless posts on Medium these days.

If this becomes the norm then you might as well cut out the middleman and just go straight to ChatGPT and ask it to generate an article on the subject you’re interested in.

Oh. Thinking about this right now, that’s an interesting concept - soon you’ll be able to generate your own content for personal consumption. Forget going online to learn about a topic or read about recent events, just have a conversation with ChatGPT. Mind blown
I just downloaded nixos for WSL2. Way easier than I thought. Thank you!
I'm talking about objective facts. You can make up reasons, but so can anyone about anything - they don't mean anything without a factual basis.

Where in NY are these stores closing?
That looks insanely expensive.
I'm allergic to resumes that recite every single technology the candidate has ever used, leaving little said about what they accomplished using said technologies.
So now ui choices in different countries is because of deep cultural meaning, but they could be arbitrary, but that doesn't mean it's random and now the arbitrary choice is now the culture? Seems like circular logic to rationalize arbitrary choices made anonymously.
Why would emails be ephemeral? I see the argument he and presumably you are making in terms of chats, though I disagree with it both in terms of what the law currently is and in what it should be, but email? Mail isn't ephemeral.

When you are having a conversation in person and you don't know it is being recorded, you have an expectation that it won't be recorded because that is the default. Do you have an expectation by default that your chat system, slack or whatever irc you use is not accessible by anyone ever again, once you close the client? I don't because that hasn't been the case for most chat clients ever.

> The ideas per unit of a book are usually more polished than the ideas in a similar sized unit of online content.

Is there any objective measure of this? Books have to be 300+ pages because that's the size you can sell them in, I've seen plenty of books that feel padded out because, well, they've been padded out.
KC was smartin choosing lines that had actual demand, so the lines remained popular: Go to the other side of the state, and see what happened in the streetcar in St Louis.

I have one and hate it with a passion. A MacBook Air bought new in the past 3 years should be able to use Teams (alone) without keeling over. Takes over a minute to launch Outlook.

My 15 year old Sony laptop can do better.

Even if Microsoft on Mac is an unmitigated dumpster fire, this is ridiculous.

I avoid using it whenever possible. If people email me, it’d better not be urgent.
I use the MLCChat iOS app to run Mixtral on my iPhone pretty much exclusively when on flights and am curious about something. Maybe it’s a question about my destination, a fact I’ve forgotten, or if I’m working and haven’t bought WiFi it’s good for quick documentation sythesis.

It’s genuinely useful and fun in a way ChatGPT isn’t- something about the novelty. However outside of that environment I haven’t found a good use.

Also fun to feel the phone heat up as it generates tokens.

This has been somewhat frustrating for me to see. I'm curious what you think actual moonshot companies look like? Are we talking novel medical tech? Advancements in aerospace? I'm specifically ignoring AI, though a few companies in that sphere will be moonshots.

What does the future look like to you?
In the future, we can think of something like sending a screenshot of an email verifying that passed the screening, similar to how levels.xyz uses offer letters to verify.
No we did not. We were heavily trained and frequently evaluated but never believing it was real in that sense. Things happen in the world for which increased level of readiness occurred, but as the fixed pillar of the Strategic Triad, we were always in a higher state of readiness.

another vote for audio books.

i was an avid reader in my youth but stopped when i entered university (and got a computer (guess where i spend most of my time instead of reading books ;-))

about a decade ago i discovered audiodrama, short story audio magazines and finally whole audiobooks. i mostly listened to them on my commute. later when i had no commute i started going for walks (to get out of the house and move) and i also listen during housework or other mundane tasks. i tried listening before going to sleep, but that didn't work because i would doze away and miss sections while hearing others. that meant hi had to relisten the next day to catch what i missed.

i get about an hour of listening time on average, sometimes two, when i have a good daily routine, less otherwise.

one hour per day is enough to listen to 2-3 books per month. i alternate between all three types so i usually only get one book in a month, sometimes less. but that adds up too. my reading list has almost 80 titles. with an average of 10 hours per book you can finish a whole book in a month with only 20 minutes per day.

There's just no way in hell people can remember even 10% of what they studied in college, book knowledge isn't really the goal, rather than teaching you how to learn and master the topics.

Point taken. I used "stay" as in, their next rumored/leaked chip wouldn't be an single anomalous success but the start of a trend that could expand to the X2, X3 Elite chips coming after.

Basically we'd need some basis to believe they'll be progressively improving at more or less the same pace as Intel's or Apple's chips to get on board with ARM laptops for Windows/linux.

Otherwise I don't see software makers care enough to port their build to ARM as well.

Even on the Atari ST you would use a "RAM disk" when working with "large" data before manually flushing it to a floppy. Some people would use the trashcan icon to emphasise the need to manually flush... Not quite a cache, but the concept was there.
Google can't keep a product alive. You're welcome to believe on their promises of extended support after all those years of shitty updates policies.
I haven't paid too much attention today, but what I did see with the iPad Pro was that they're using an OLED display (maybe even some kind of double layer OLED for increased brightness if I'm understanding the marketing jargon?).

I believe that OLED is much more power hungry than the previous display type (LED backlit LCD of some type?). I could be wrong, but in TV land that's the case...

Could explain, at least partly, why run time isn't greatly increased.
